The Tombs of Atuan

Brain capacity for a teacher is somewhat reduced at the end term, so I opted for an audio reread while doing chores.

In The Tombs of Atuan we meet Tenar, who is taken from her parents at five years old to become Arha, high priestess to the eaten ones. We will also meet Ged, the protagonist from A Wizard of Earthsea, again. This is atmospheric and sort of creepy. Le Guin portrays a culture that is both ancient and sort of stagnant. Tenar is a believable girl and young woman without some of the annoyingness such characters sometimes get in fiction. I love this book.
